@AaronBastani We are spending billions on HS2 when we could have just reopened huge sections of the Great Central.

Silenced by the admins. No longer attempting to rebuild. If I have followed you I must've remembered you from my last incarnation!

We buried HS2 in the Cotswolds when we should have had viewing platforms serving Pimm’s and G&Ts.

In China’s Guilin, high-speed trains have become a sightseeing attraction.

@Anarseldain @elonmusk Thank you for saying this. It's really very sad that it needs to be said.
English
We’ve come a long ways since Twitter’s moderation, but X is simply not a free speech platform until @elonmusk removes the rogue mods who are conducting banwaves against RW posters. One of my friends was suspended over nothing, and they even suspended his inactive alt as well; so obviously it’s not just about the ToS.

ELON MUSK AGREES: If the West loses Christianity, it is absolutely screwed
"I think you're probably right."

@PolitlcsUK Not hard enough.
A man with a iota of morality would have realised his judgement is too impaired to run a country and resigned.

🚨 WATCH: Keir Starmer says he "beat himself up" for appointing Peter Mandelson

@BBCPolitics "Relative poverty"
A metric deliberately created to manipulate the narrative.
This is why our country will eventually die under the weight of taxation.
English
Number of people living in relative poverty in the UK rose by half a million in the year up to March 2025, new government figures show

Anonymity. On a public block chain. 🙄

There's only one reason to donate to a political party using crypto: anonymity. That's why it's Russia's bribing method of choice. I was pleased to contribute to the Rycroft review, and I'm glad to see the Government is taking action on his recommendations.

@db_fink @JoeBGrech It's a terrible attitude for a product head.

Honestly Elon needs to get rid of Nikita. He’s added nothing to the platform lol

Nikita Bier says Creator Payouts will now be affected by the user’s location. But told me personally I wouldn’t get paid at all: “We won’t send you money overseas.” Why is a regular user being targeted like this? I just think this change raises many issues: - What about US citizens living abroad? (many are full time X creators) - What about legitimate international creators? - Users from countries with little user base? (Vatican, 800 people; Andorra, 80k, etc.) - International full time X creators? Why should an account like mine not be paid at all while delivering over 100M impressions a month? Because the Head of Product doesn’t like me? I think @elonmusk should look into this. There are smarter ways to deal with ‘foreign interference’ from 3rd world countries. I was suspended within minutes of respectfully commenting about Nikita, then unbanned by Elon Musk himself. Hope it doesn’t happen again. Just my opinion, respectfully.

I'm based in France, but 43% of my audience is American.
I know many of us are in the same situation. To reach a wider audience, all my posts are in English, the international language.
Those who cause trouble may be punished, but with this change, which will significantly reduce our earnings, you're also penalizing a number of accounts that use the international language without any ill intent.
X tells us that videos and new, high-quality content will be prioritized, but this change will, on the contrary, drastically reduce our earnings.
Is there any way to reverse this decision, please?🥺

Starting Thursday, we'll be updating our revenue sharing incentives to better reward the content we want on X: We will be giving more weight to impressions from your home region—to encourage content that resonates with people in your country, in neighboring countries and people who speak your language. While we appreciate everyone's opinion on American politics, we hope this will disincentivize gaming the attention of US or Japanese accounts and instead, drive diverse conversations on the platform. We invite creators to start building an audience locally. X will be a much richer community when there's relevant posts for people in all parts of the world.

@David__Osland Because it's always a little bit more, and a little bit more, and a little bit more, and a little bit more...on and on and on and on.

Average annual takehome pay is now just £25k. Tell me again why the 1% shouldn't pay a bit more tax.

Sorry to have to say this...
The British do not like the kind of diversity that intends to take over Britain and kill any infidel that does not convert to Islam
Is that hard to understand, silly little man ?

Muslim mayor Sadiq Khan says the British people love diversity. Not at the expense of our own culture we don’t!

@BladeoftheS I think you've missed a zero off your battery cost.
I've had 18 solar panels and a 6Kw battery for 9 years. Great system but its not that cheap.
English
In the UK most houses could have all of their power supplied by Solar Panels for 2/3rds of year
If we had done this we would already be almost completely fossil fuel free
The panels last 40-60 years, the batteries cost £500 and last for 15 years
It's basically free electricity

@bphillipsonMP All you are doing is shifting costs around using taxation and redistribution. Meanwhile the recession we are heading for because you've crippled business is going to be legendary for all the wrong reasons.
English
Labour has halved the cost of childcare, and now we’re doing even more to make high-quality early years education more accessible and affordable.
We’re cutting the cost of living and giving children the best start in life.

@Keir_Starmer You'll be proscribing the IRGC and getting their supporters rounded up then?
No, thought not.

The antisemitic arson attack in Golders Green is horrifying.
I’ve been in touch with Jewish community leaders this morning and will continue to do so throughout the day.
An attack on our Jewish community is an attack on us all. We will fight the poison that is antisemitism.

@patmcfaddenmp Why make it so complicated? Just get your boots off our necks. Cut regulation, cut taxes, we should be the most tax effective country in the world not seen as a place people and businesses want to escape from.

Too many of Britain’s young are not working. Labour has a plan to fix that.
Long term problem deserving a serious answer.
Hiring bonuses for employers. Boosting youth apprenticeships for small businesses. Help for the long term youth unemployed.

I’ve put my own money into Reform, mate—hard-earned cash from a regular job.
I’m just an ordinary, decent, law-abiding, hard-working, tax-paying British citizen. I’m absolutely fed up—sick to death—of people like you who seem determined to tear apart the country I love, the country that’s mine by birthright and lifelong loyalty.
There are thousands more just like me, quietly but willingly funding Reform because we’ve had enough.
Hope that clears things up for you

@RishiSunak @thetimes Its a good thing you reined in the Treasury and stopped them attacking small businesses with crippling legislation and taxation when you were PM.
Oh, wait...
English
AI is going to reshape jobs.
But right now our tax system is tilted against hiring people at exactly the moment firms are deciding what to automate.
We need to fix that.
